Carried over:
Mike signs his pretty consistently. He goes by "Music Man Mike" and uses some notes in his signature. The whole crew is there in ink. That took me like six hours of driving and visiting. After all the other BS that went into getting 'em!
And, that's an entirely new song to me. Never heard it before.
That Daniel Johnston is some schizophrenic guy who wrote songs and recorded them in his parents basement in the 80's. He got famous somehow and some of his songs are awesome
LOL Until today, I don't think I've ever heard of 'em.
He was a terrible musician, his guitar and keyboard skills were elementary at best, but he wrote with passion. He had struggles with severe mental illness.
When he was living in Austin (hanging with the Butthole Surfers) it got really bad, so his dad flew down to Austin in his prop plane to carry him home to West Virginia. In mid-flight, Daniel turned the engine off and threw the key out the window. His father had to crash land the plane.
He was an interesting character
